Technical Abstract

A method of fabricating a solder-on-pad structure is provided. The method may include providing a substrate with a pad, coating a solder bump maker including a first resin and a solder powder on the substrate, heating the solder bump maker to a temperature lower than a melting point of the solder powder to aggregate the solder powder on the pad, and removing the first resin.

13 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method of fabricating a solder-on-pad structure, comprising: providing a substrate with a pad; coating a solder bump maker including a first resin and a solder powder on the substrate; heating the solder bump maker to a temperature lower than a melting point of the solder powder, thereby aggregating the solder powder on the pad; removing the first resin, coating a second resin or a flux on the solder powder; reflowing the solder powder; and removing the second resin or the flux.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solder powder comprises a ternary solder.

3

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the ternary solder comprises SAC305 (Sn 3 Ag 0.5 Cu).

4

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the SAC305 is heated to 215° C. during the heating of the solder bump maker.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, forming a guide exposing the pad on the substrate and determining a height of the solder bump maker.

6

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the coating of the solder bump maker is performed by a printing process, and the guide is used to print the solder bump maker on a specific region of the substrate, where the pad is provided, during the printing process.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solder bump maker further comprises a reductant selected to remove a natural oxide layer from surfaces of the solder powder and the pad.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reflowing of the solder powder is performed to heat the solder powder to a temperature higher than a melting point thereof.

9

9. A flip-chip bonding method, comprising: providing a substrate with a pad; coating a solder bump maker including a first resin and a solder powder on the substrate; heating the solder bump maker to a temperature lower than a melting point of the solder powder, thereby aggregating the solder powder on the pad; removing the first resin; coating a second resin or a flux; reflowing the aggregated solder powder to form a solder bump on the pad; and removing the second resin or the flux.

10

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the solder powder comprises a ternary solder made of SAC305 (Sn 3 Ag 0.5 Cu).

11

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the SAC305 is heated to 215° C. during the heating of the solder bump maker.

12

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the solder powder is heated to a temperature higher than the melting point during the reflowing of the aggregated solder powder.

13

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the substrate comprises a wafer provided with a trench.
